I remember a story a while back with a guy who had a Mercedes that hit 1,000,000 miles. The guy was a college professor who lived quite a distance from the school he worked at. He contacted Mercedes and they wanted him to drive it to California. He drove it there and they traded him straight up for a new top of the line MB.

When I moved from the west coast to live in Minnesota and Wisconsin for a few years, it was a culture shock to me to rarely see a car over 10 years old, and the few that I would see looked like they had been sunk in the ocean for a long while.

After I learned about the salting the roads, and saw the results of the first winter on my pickup, did I really understand why you didn't see a lot of older vehicles.

I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.

Carl Judice made a few bucks with his K&N filter commercial so this guys not the first to put a million miles on a pickup truck. You have to love GM trucks though they just keep on running with proper maintenance. Mine has just over 100,000 and the oil is still gold on the stick and the engine bay looks like new!

I recently traded in a 1997 Ford Ranger, original transmission and motor....325,000. The fuel pump went and I believe a little bit of junk got into an injector. Started to run a little rough and burn more gas. Got $1300 in trade....I asked for $2000, the nerve they had to chew me down!
